Overview
With more and more HDMI devices entering the Home Theater
market, the need for simultaneous access to different HDMI A/V
sources is becoming increasingly important. Now, the VS0801H
8-port HDMI Switch offers an easy and affordable way to add
HDMI capabilities to your home theater system by allowing you to
switch easily between up to eight HDMI A/V sources that are
connected to your HDMI display.
With eight HDMI A/V input ports, the VS0801H 8-port HDMI
Switch allows you to connect eight HDMI devices (such as an HD
camcorder or satellite box, HD-DVD player, hi-def Blu-ray player,
home theater PC, stand-alone streaming media player, gaming
console, etc.) to your HDMI monitor, display, projector or TV at
the same time. The remote control and convenient front panel
pushbuttons allow you to quickly and easily toggle between
HDMI sources, while the front panel LEDs indicate the source
device at a glance. In addition, with Power On Detection, if one
HDMI source device is powered off, the VS0801H will
automatically switch to the next powered-on device.
Furthermore, for complete system and install integration, RS-232
control is standard through the VS0801H’s built-in bi-directional
RS-232 serial port that allows the switch to be controlled through
a high-end controller, PC, and/or home automation / home
theater software package.
